A14 Crash Causes Traffic Chaos in Newmarket: Lanes Reopened but Delays Remain
A car accident on the A14 has led to traffic chaos and significant delays in Newmarket. The incident occurred when a car crashed into the central reservation, resulting in queuing traffic in both directions between Waterhall and Fordham Road. As a result, the A1304 Bury Road has also experienced congestion, as traffic is being diverted through the town.
According to traffic monitoring company Inrix, the accident caused one lane to be closed in both directions on the A14, from A14 J38 (Waterhall) to J37 A142 Fordham Road. This led to considerable congestion, with the A1304 Bury Road also being affected as traffic sought alternative routes through Newmarket.
Efforts to manage the situation have been ongoing, and we are pleased to report that all lanes on the A14 have now been reopened. However, residual delays are still being experienced at present. Inrix first reported the incident at 6:48 am earlier today.
